Wedged just across from Laurier metro, Café Noble is small, fast, and serious about its coffee. Opened in 2015 by engineer-turned-barista Marc-Antoine Paquin and his partner Marie-Hélène Choquette, the tiny counter grew out of a West Coast road trip and a love for Third Wave coffee. The house blend, roasted by Toronto’s De Mello Palheta, is always on deck—bright, balanced, and built for everyday drinking—while guest roasters rotate through the grinders every few days. Hof Kelsten pastries round out the offering, and in summer, an ice cream stand and cold brew floats take over the terrasse out front. Inside, there’s just enough room to grab your espresso or latte before getting back to it. With discounts for reusable mugs and bulk coffee buyers, Café Noble keeps it simple: Good coffee, quickly, and with just enough space to breathe when the weather’s good.
